Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
和小日本共情原子弹的，现在我居然还能见到，还是在国内的论坛里面，真的厉害。
永生的且拥有超能力的eternals也是造物，甚至渴望放弃长生不老以体验人的成长。这更彻底地解构了英雄和神，完善了人神关系（但归根结底还是在思考人类本身）。动作戏很有味道，非常喜欢暗红色eternal的极速移动，是我最想要的superpower！但这部电影显然无法承担它宏大的哲学计划的落地。有一点是，我觉得所有eternals尽管多元化后，还清一色地说英文本身就不能对接普世主义。如此artifice在如今的电影机制里能够被辨识出但无法剔除。（造物主非常像如来佛，不知道原作是否就这样。
再就是别家特效都努力做得好像真的，这家好像故意做的不好的。
只能说设定都是好的，高阶文明远征不可能是出于纯粹的善意如果暂时看不出来只是时机还未成熟，人类不过是高级的食材，没有邪恶反派只是出于不同的正义。完全有机会整成守望者啊，不知道怎么拍成了这样子……ps灭霸棺材板压不住了：我在第五层
黑人。。。科学家？日本人。。。受害者？不应该是日本人下跪嘛？
所以印度三哥最后真的是什么都没做，是把他忘了吗？哈卷还真是无处不在。
赵婷是不是只知道原子弹炸死了很多人，却不知道事件的前因后果，也根本不知道是美国投弹。所以，圣母心一时暴起，结果众人都尴尬了。赵婷还很疑惑的看着众人为何不理解她。海燕啊，你可学点历史吧！1
日裔编剧
Chloe Zhao的马力克风格的确和漫威叙事不太搭，剧本也比较潦草，以及让少狼主和Jon Snow俩演员轮番对女主说出「瑟曦我爱妳」实在过份尬过分违和……
活了几千年还像小孩子一样闹脾气
竟然是赵婷导演的，在我看过的漫威电影里能属上乘了
奇怪的政治正义确联盟，狼家兄弟争色曦，黄沙种地玩Civ，自然科教太空BBCG挺好看，但星际尺度剧情仍然局限在Kardashev次I类文明的区区人类思维怎么着都捉襟见肘，金丝永动机器人的武功更加捏汗，这盘连奥斯卡导演都接不好，更何况被流放的留学生
完全可以入选2021最烂好莱坞电影，全方位的无聊和混乱，赵婷完全不会拍，要人物没有人物，要场面没有场面，角色塑造薄如纸，故事线干瘪，叙事拖沓无力，群戏全面崩坏，大部分时间就是一群人尬聊，念人物小传，白左开大会，一起煲鸡汤。光是本片差劲的程度，都应该重启漫威的这个阶段。
当舆论炒作以及集体无意识行为夹杂着种族主义等等政治、民族、国家等因素以沛然之势袭向一部电影时，它总是不可避免地陷入一阵风波之中和无差别的恶意攻击，之前我总是失望厌倦以及愤怒，但现在我基本能够保持理性和平静。
驚喜之作，看來我真的很喜歡跟爛番茄對著幹的審美。扣一分是因為漫威爛笑話太多和有時候對戲太尬，緊湊點絕對可以5星伺候了。一句話大劇透：你以為永恆族是要清婦聯4的爛攤子，其實是一個神仙下凡+不義聯盟+地球裡埋了個天神族的故事。真的拍的是不義聯盟電影版，那個很像超人的角色真的就是不義超的角色地位的。進一步讓DC無真人可拍。以及和尚氣一樣，進一步擴展了漫威宇宙世界的邊界，這波格局真的大了。
Barry Keoghan帅到我了……上次他还是在圣鹿之死里面吓翻我 漫威这新系列竟让我看出一种慢条斯理的守望者味道
烂的无可救药，这个企划是怎么想的…奇异的制作组合，相互耽搁…
7/10 MCU框架与作者性演绎的杂糅，不是贬义，漂亮的文科生电影的感觉。画面质感与世界观渲染得很好，动作戏华丽，永恒族身上的人性主题比以往MCU更有深度；但剧情逻辑有粗糙感，天神宝宝怎么能被冻结是不是有点口胡？永恒族各位带上手环时候差点以为十环帮来了。
这究竟是在展现慈悲和反思还是在说明即使是同为黑皮的神眼里黑人也只是🦍，我不好说😅
不是说角色多，就能造就又一部《银河护卫队》。像《神奇四侠》之流不就死惨。赵婷的冷挂，导致各种角色都缺乏魅力。有限的时间难以塑造角色，无趣的主线更是乏味。总体还是无聊。最坑爹的是，这部作品直接将妇联4部的价值抹杀。
